- Title
The Keys to Future STEM Careers: Basic Skills, Critical Thinking, and Ethics.
- Authors
Ramsey, Kathleen; Baethe, Barbara
- Abstract
The United States has lost its competitive edge in math and science education (National Math + Science Initiative, 2013), and work in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is no longer a career of choice. Some studies attribute these trends to lack of student interest (Hall et al, 2011). The authors discuss their experiences and results of informal research that led to their position that students' level of basic skills, ability to think critically, and ethical commitment are major factors in determining the success and continued interest of science majors.
